Nintendo eShop - April 2019 | Our Wallets Are Ended
- Thread starter tolkir
- Start date
I know this isn't a new issue, but I'm starting to feel genuinely overwhelmed by how many FINAL FANTASY GAMES I want to play that have come out recently, or coming out soon for this wonderful machine.
I only played MS2 on 3DS, but I echo the thoughts that there are far better SRPGs on Switch. They are good value and fill the gap, but Into the Breach, Wargroove, even God Wars are better.
Yep! This drove me nuts for a while and couldn't figure out why it kept failing my pretzels.
Then as you said, I realised to keep my eye on the button of the screen and see which it had pre selected for me!
It's co op and definitely fun! If you like a bit of stress to get out accurate orders to hungry customers you can play it normally or you can do a "Zen shift" where everyone has infinite patience and they'll wait as long as needed for you to get their order complete. I love the insane amount of foods and drinks you can prepare and the varied requests customers have so you're not making the exact same thing over and over. Makes it more challenging and realistic.
The Hori RAP V Switch arcade stick is absolutely excellent and supports both Switch and PC with the press of a button.
I bought Hellblade. I've only played like 20 minutes, damn this game is intense! Headphones required! Also the game icon is basically a Windows desktop icon, I'm sure they'll patch it, I hope.
the game is 50% cheaper on another regions eShop. You'll figure it out, if you want to.
just use tolkir's threadmarks.

I'm starting to think the same way - I wasn't aware there were a lot of limitations on XBX1 backwards compatibility. I was sort of under the impression that I could just start searching used bins for Xbox titles and pick them up as they appeared. Sort of disappointing that it doesn't work that way.
I get to play at my desk usually once every day or two for around an hour if I wake up early enough and don't have other things to take care of. Having a decent arcade pad would be a lot of fun, especially if I can use it on my PC too. I haven't explored Steam shmups much and it appears a lot of classics are there. Anyway, another user ( Mr_Bubbles ) suggested the RAP 5, so it makes me happy to see that the HORI stuff has a decent reputation among users.
Nice, thanks man! Could you repost that link though? I'm not sure if I can find that thread on the Shmup board (I guess I should join) and the link you posted is an internal link (it is this one? https://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=62430).
Having a list of all of them would be super helpful, especially because I think some are only available in the Japanese eShop? There are at least a couple of collections that I think are region specific anyway.
I'm super lucky in that my monitor can switch to a vertical orientation, so I can use Tate mode docked. I'm sort of getting excited just thinking about Danmaku Unlimited 3 using a stick and vertical monitor. Damn, I think I'm gonna do this!

Okay, Moonlighter. Is it worth $25? It looks amazing, I love roguelites and throwing in itemisation and a shop that can also have your gear stolen? Yes please. Is it fun? What's typical length or is it never ending?
It's cheaper than that on the US eshop, though (and if you aren't in the US, it at least shows the game gets discounts).
Seems like people here were really mixed on it, like it's fun for the first few hours but then it gets kind of repetitive. At least that's what I gleaned from reading what other people wrote as I tried to figure out if it was worth it myself.
I'm just really needing something to scratch the itch that Hollow Knight has seeded. I haven't even finished my first run through of the game either.
Actually, what's a good couch co-op game on Switch? My partner and I enjoy playing the lego games but Villains was a huge miss with its messy as heck design so we need something to be pre occupied with but I can't think of anything. Even a good Stardew Valley style game would be good.
This looks really cool. Seems like it could be a bit challenging, but I love these sort of games and they are a rare breed these days.That 'Baba Is You' is 3 hours long is the most ridiculous hot take that I have read in Era in the entire 2019.
Back to the topic of games that we have actually played, the Switch port of 'Gigantic Army' is legit.
And the best game inspired in 'Cybernator' ever made.
It's basically 'Contra: Hard Corps', but with fucking gigantic mechs.
And I'm using the comparison with 'Contra: Hard Corps' because the game is a bloody orgy of gigantic mid bosses, with the same sense of epicness of Konami's magnum opus.
It's like playing an episode of a space opera, making you feel immersed in a intergalactic scale war, while you see in the horizon other mechs destroying dreadnoughts. They have really nailed the setting of the game.
One of the most gorgeous 2D showcases seen this generation. And running at 60 FPS, it doesn't matter the size or number of sprites and explosions
One of my greatest surprises of this 2019.
And my favorite Astro Port game so far.
PSA about FFX HD: I've been asking people who've gotten physical copies, and they've confirmed that the Switch version does not have the PC version's QoL features (fast forward, encounter toggle, boosters, etc.), which people may have grown used to in all the other Final Fantasy ports.
Incredibly disappointing for me, though I already pre-purchased. Fastforward especially is so invaluable for replaying these lengthy RPGs. Seems like only FFXII might be a relatively perfect version.

Oh damn.. That's a bummer.
I mean, I really didn't need a reason to buy FFX yet again, but that is still unfortunate.
Hey, Diablo and Crash just got nice 34% and 40% discounts on the Canadian eshop... maybe we're getting a blockbusters sale on NA after all?
It was pulled from the eShop a couple days later. The theory is that it was released early by accident but nothing confirmed.
Guys, there was a JP eShop exclusive game that was about flicking erasers on a desk in a classroom, and building crazy robots with rulers and pencils then duking them out.
It was posted here on era a while back, but I lost the link. Anyone happen to know what game I'm referring to and what it's called??
Also, anyone grab Katana Zero and Way of the Passive Fist? Tempted by these but would love some feedback.

As the initial launch-day hype has passed, what's the over under on Mechstermination Force? Depth?
Grabbed Cook, Serve, Delicious 2!!....looks fun and the content and variety is what grabbed me. Can't wait to try it out.
What do you guys feel the most underrated indie on the eshop is?
My vote goin out to downwell and astrobears (unless I just missed the discussion)

100% yes! The Switch version is good and they very much hold up.
Yeah, that's the one.
Also just check if the new releases AngerForce, Switch 'n Shoot and Time Pilot are on the list; if they're there then it's the correct list.
There's a bunch of regional releases like Darius Cozmic Collection (retail only, sigh, to say nothing of the sold out L.E. via Amazon that was the only way to acquire all the games), Psyvariar Delta, Rolling Gunner and so on
WTF!!??
WHAT A FUCKING BUMMER MAN :-(
Seriously thanks a lot for having me saved money I would have immediately regretted spending.
Did they freaking port the original PS2 release then? Did the PS4/Vita ports had those QOL feats? Zero hope it'll be patched in I guess.
It's the second best version out there besides the NDS remakes, but those are pricey and not on a modern system, here for $30 you get a ton of great content.
Yes the games are still amazing and fully hold up today and not many VN/Adventures titles of comparable quality have come out since AA1 came out 18 years ago (!) on GBA.
That is exactly what OT are for tho?
And you can't really "necro" an OT, besides even if that was the case it's not like the thread is 3 years old or something... the game literally just released 4 weeks ago lol
Anyway, I haven't tried 4p but this is by far the most approachable version of the game, thanks to a sweet auto-aim feature but it still is a hard game by design even to navigate visually if your friends are really, really casual players then forget it. If they are somewhat decent then you're going to have a lot of fun provided you have a big TV (too bad the game does not support local wifi network battles using a console for each player)
Tangledeep. It's so, so good but was overshadowed by Wargroove's hype/release.
Highly recommend to anyone who loves classic SNES JRPGs and/or roguelikes (don't be intimidated by that word — permadeath is optional, along with lots of other options to make the game more/less difficult).
It's apparently based on the PS4 version, and neither the PS4 nor Vita versions had the QOL additions. Only PC.
They're sitting right there, though, and all the other FF ports have them. Really dumb FFX is lacking them.
Well at least you have a great version of DQ11. Square giveth and Square taketh away.
Just make myself feel 'normal' in Switch owner terms, do you guys also own a ton of indies on Switch? Like, more than you can even realistically play? I own around 160 games for this machine, I genuinely don't need another system again
Rayman Legends is outstanding, great buy. M&R is great too. And I like the original Reigns. I should look into the GoT one but I don't really follow that franchise.
Yeah I borrowed M&R and got to the end of World 2. It's really something. Legends is great too.
Reigns GoT is pretty heavy on the fanservice honestly.
Sounds like a normal Switch owner to me! I don't have quite as many games but it's way up there. Love this system.
This is basically every system I've ever owned, yet I still buy new systems.
So to summarise, in the last month;
Baba is You
Minit
Gunman Clive HD Collection
Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2
Dark Souls: Remastered
Mechstermination Force
Reigns Game of Thrones
Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Aw man I have a problem. To be fair I hadn't bought anything for my Switch before that in like 4-5 months.

I only buy new games when I have either beaten a game I own (or put a meaningful amount of time into). This keeps me from growing too big of a backlog. However, with that said I own somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 games.
I'm really trying, but the game my Backloggery Fortune Cookie landed on is Death Road to Canada, and it's really obtuse to beat. You think you're doing well with skill and resources, then a random text choice kills your whole party :(
